Still haven’t gotten Plasma 6 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I know they’re making sure it’s a quality roll-out but I can’t wait!!! :)

It became available for me on Tumbleweed last night.

Using now and I’m so excited that Wayland is like 300% more usable for me on Nvidia than it has been. This is really exciting. Everything is super smooth.

I just wish it had a better way of telling me “All this theme stuff is incompatible” and letting me update it. That’s a bit wonky right now…

An additional fix that seems important, but not mentioned in the summary:

PowerDevil

  • Check if idle inhibitor is active before blanking the screen. Commit. Fixes bug #482141
Swarfega@lemm.ee on 12 Mar 2024 20:38 next collapse

That is an important fix. I’m surprised this wasn’t found before 6 even released.

It’s similar to an issue I have on Plasma 5 where if I am playing a game with a game pad, the screen would go off due to inactivity. It’s a known old bug. I wish they would fix it.

Oh here it is. Only 11 years old…

Lots of bugs around screen blanking in plasma 6 it seems…

I also ran into this one: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481308

Ahh I feel the temptation to upgrade. Must…resist. The voices are becoming louder, but the will is still strong

Novi@sh.itjust.works on 13 Mar 2024 00:59 collapse

Do it. I waited for release but it was smooth as butter before. It has some edge case issues but on the whole it’s been better than staying on plasma 5.

Kvantum blur is still not working :'(

Is there any way to automatically unlock the Kwallet with Autologin (sddm) in Plasma 6?

Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show on 13 Mar 2024 07:25 next collapse

No. You might aswell not use a wallet in that case, since nothing is protecting your passwords.

That really depends on what backs it up.

For example, if you have TPM backed FDE, TPM-backed encryption for your wallet, and the screen locked on login, you can still get a pretty high level of security.

Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show on 14 Mar 2024 07:55 collapse

Sure, but they specifically asked for it to unlock on autologin. Meaning no password to be entered. If you lock the screen right away, you still need to put in a password, so that is not what they want.

lengau@midwest.social on 14 Mar 2024 12:48 collapse

They asked it to unlock their wallet on autologin, which is separate from whether the screen is locked.

IceFoxX@lemm.ee on 14 Mar 2024 16:46 collapse

Either way only because of SMB shares that I don’t want to mount via fstab. Where access is with restricted rights. Selinux is also in use.

Wrongdoer4371@iusearchlinux.fyi on 13 Mar 2024 08:48 collapse

Yes there is. wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Unlock_KDE_Wa…

IceFoxX@lemm.ee on 13 Mar 2024 19:53 collapse

These are already my settings, but from Plasma 6 I am asked for my password every time I log in.

I want it now.
